Some background: i have great hair genetics. I have curly hair, which is generally thought of as good, but that’s arguable. It’s less styleable but is lower maintenance tbh.
Both sides of my family my grandparents aren’t bald. My grandfather on my dads side got hit by a car in his mid 80’s, god bless his soul, and he was not bald. I think his hair was thinner tho
My grandpa on my mom’s side has thin af hair now but he’s turning 90. So i probably won’t be going bald.
Tldr: I have good hair genetics
Now, i don’t know if this is from my rapid weight loss (40 lbs in 2 months, i ate like 600 cals a day and had very little protein jfl) which it likely is, or its from the reta.
I have however heard other people experience hair loss, which i have too, When i pull out hair in the shower it’s hella lowkey. I don’t see a noticable diff in my hair but it goes on my pillow n shi. Whenever i’m off reta and also eating more i don’t get it. I think its from not enough eating
tldr: reta might make u lose hair
